About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Aw man, I think there's something in my eye!
Very Vermeer!

I was just thinking Vermeer too! What a great shot! Looks cold though. Brrr.
I'll take Vermeer under advisement

Caravaggio immediately came to mind for me.

Stroke of Luck

Tterrace is correct! What an extraordinary stroke of luck. Pressed that shutter release at just the right millisecond! Wow!
Vermeer...

What would Johannes Vermeer say about this?

I like this (apparently) non-professional portrait. Is the child in it's Mother's arms? Godmother?
I looked at it again and was about to say that it would look better cropped on the sides when I saw the ghostly sibling at the left side of the image. Neat!
